THE CAT MARKET.
Recognition Of the Domesticated Feline ms
Fur Koarlng Animal.

Fur-Boaring Animal.
1t is estimated that not less than
9,000,090 kittens are annually brought
into this sinful world. OF these, the
great majority are miserably drowned
"a practice which is destined shortly
to be done away with by the recogni-
ton of the eat as fur bearing animal.
Rugs of selected Maltese and tortoise
shell are already quite expensive, and
excellent limitations Of various furs are
made in this material. Taxidcrmists,
too, are advertising for kittens by the
thousand, to stuff for ornamental pur-
poses. At present the only purpose to
which they are applied in this country
is the manufacture Of carriage robes
but vast numbers Of them are sent To
Europe, where they are in great de-
mand for coats and hats, dressing
gown Innings, and other garments.
The pelts come in from all parts Of
the country. They arc gathered by
professional collectors, who supply
them by the quantity at regular sched-
ule rates. A common cat skin is worth
five cents, pure Maltese ten cents,
and black one twenty-five cents. A
carriage robe Of the best cat fur is
worth from forty to fifty dollars. There
are always plenty OF stray cats run
ming wild in the rural districts. The
Maine woods are full of them. They
breed wonderfully fast. and it is good
sport popping them off the fences and
stone walls along the roadside. = Dos

THE FARMERS INSTITUTE.

The Farmers Institute held at Turner
Hall last Wednesday and Thursday un-
der the auspices OF state department Of
agriculture. was largely attended and
highly successful in all its aims and pur-
poses. The institute was opened We'd
nesday morning by Superintendent
Morrison, of Madison. In very grace
full manner John L. Flavin, Of Emmett,
welcomed the members of the institute,
after which Prof Roberts, of Cornell
college, delivered an able address on the
proper care of stock, and the barnyard
and the renovation of soils. John Gould,
of Aurora, Ohio, followed with talk on
the silo u. F. Sayre, of Fulton, and B.
S. Hoxie, of Evansville, delivered ad.
dresses on the general arrangement of
farms.
AT Thursdays session there was an
increased attendance ever the day pre-
vious and the high interest maintained
throughout the proceedings. Papers on
the following subjects were read; "HoH
to Increase Fertility" by S. S. Northrop,
of Clinton; "Potatoe Culture" by B. s.
Odds, Clinton; More and Better Horses
on the Farm by j. NJ. Treat, Baraboo;
Butter Making" by j. M. Gould, of
Ohio; "Our Country Roads, by Robert
Fargo Lake Mills; "Swine Husbandry,"
by Theo. Louis. Louisville, Wis; Fruit
Raising" by J. M. Smith, Green Bay;
"Fine Wool Sheep" by E. 0. Lewis,
Leeds; "Blackberries, by w. Ell. Hamil-
ton, Ripon. The several topics elected
lively and timely discussions, partici-
pated in by many of the farmers present.
Fine singing by quartet, composed of
G. c. Eaton, FL. M. Waldo, Roy James
and J. B. Waldo was very enjoyable
feature of the proceedings.
The Institute was pronounced fine
success and of great profit and benefit to
all in attendance.
Farming communities should come to-
gether oftener than they do to discuss
matters and interchange sentiments re-
garding their branch of business. En-
gagged in line of industry upon the
success of which so much of general
business interests depends, makes this
demand still the more imperative and it
is therefore to be hoped that We shall
hear more of farmers institutes.

JUNEAU.

Editor Kelly has been quite sick for
the past few days, confined to his house
by an attack of pneumonia.
The inequality of The assessment of
last year has been a fruitful theme Of
conversation since it was discovered by
the payment of taxes. The cause must
be ascribed either to the most stupid lack
of judgment or to desire to favor some
and wreak vengeance on others.
The necessary steps have been taken
to prepare charter for the incorporation
of the city of Juneau, and the same will
probably be introduced in the legislature
during the present week.
Senator Pettibone, who has been APP
pointed chairman of the joint committee
of printing and member of the Railroad
Committee, will this week introduce a
bill to abolish the civil jurisdiction of the
Dodge county court, in answer to the al
most unanimous wish of the people to
get rid OF this expensive and and orna-
mental luxury.

BILLS FOR GAME.

At the late meeting of sportsmen at the
Plankinton House, Milwaukee, J. V.
Quarles drew up three bills for the better
protection of fish and game in the state.
The Daily Sentinel says Of them:
The most important of the measures
provides for the appointment in each
county Of the state, of game and fish
warden. The bill specifies that the ap.
pointments shall bemade by thegovernor.
The wardens are to hold their appoint
ments for two years, or until their sue
cessors are appointed. Their duties shall
be to "secure so far az they may be able,
the enforcement Ct the laws for the
preservation of game and ish, and to
investigate complaints of the violation of
such laws within the state, to call the
attention of the district attorney of their
respective counties to we'll authenticated
complaints of violations of such statutes,
and to use their best endeavors to secure
the conviction and punishment of any
person offending against such statutes"
The bill also makes it the duty of the dis.
trict attorney of each county to Investigate
complaints of the violation of the statutes
relating to fish and game, when made by
the game or fish warden of his county, or
by any other person, and to cooperate
with the warden in enforcing obedience to
the statutes, and Furnishing offenders
against them. No compensation is to be
allowed the wardens.
The second bill is designed especially
to protect the shooting clubs of the state,
which own or lease grounds for the pur-

A. farmer near Neosho bought 500
sheep last fall to feed, and sold them the
first week in January, clearing $500.
For week or two past there have
passed through the village daily from
twenty to twenty-fv teams loaded with
barley, going to D. NJ Roberts elevator
at Iron Ridge. At this writing (Monday)
it is agreed upon by the farmers to have
from forty to fifty loaded teams leave the
village tomorrow morning in procession
to the Ridge, headed by the Hustisford
band.
G.. H. Rumrill, of Fulton, was through
this country last week, buying leaf to-
bacco. We understand he bought up all
grown around Neosbo, but did not as
certain price.
Miss .Effle Jones, of Oak Grove, was
visiting at S. NJ Rapdalps last week.
Quite number of our young people
took in the dance at Iron Ridge last
Friday night and report boss time.
By the frequency of his trips into this
section of Iron Ridges popular stock
buyer, John Roberts, leads many to think
that there is great amount of stock to
be bought west of the village. Give
John time and we warrant he will get
there, even if he has to load his cutter
sometimes. FARMER.

THE DRAINAGE OF MUD LAKE.

Many farmers are of the opinion that
with the proper drainage of Mud Lake
very large acreage of land, at present
either under water or of so Doggy char.
acter as to be entirely useless, could be
reclaimed, rendering a portion fit for
tilage and the balance made good for
grass. Some estimate the number of
acres that could be brought into use by
the proposed drainage at from 10000
to 10000, mostly in the towns Of Shields
and Lowell, although there is considerable
in Milford that would be rendered good.
1t is claimed that the value of the lands
drained would be three or four times the
amount of the outlay. The attention of
the legislature will probably be called to
this matter by Aasemblyman t. F. Scion,
of the first district of Dodge county.
